Given that the pain hasn't even started yet, I expect that to get much worse when we are paying $4.50\gal in Nov.

Everyone knows YKW is tanking in the national opinion but for reasons I cannot fathom, there is an element of the people for whom he can do no wrong. There is little point in using any form of facts or logic to attempt to change their point of view.

"Analysts started expressing views that $200 oil is not a fantasy anymore-with 20% of global oil supply choked at the Strait of Hormuz buyers are racing to procure physical cargoes, refiners in Asia consider cutting processing rates, and Asian countries restrict fuel exports.

As a result, jet and diesel cracks soared to never-seen highs, leaving entire regions such as Europe in a shocking shortfall of middle distillates."

Half of this was to get 13 year old girls off the frontpage. 

Except for the 100 or so we Tomahawked.

So they are for it as long as it's someone else's kids when it comes times for boots on the ground..

The marines are on their way...boots on the ground will be sold as the only way to save the globe from the mess we started...

On another note..how do we know who are actually launching the drones when they all seem to be/look the same...

If that one tickles you, this is todays psyop messaging from Russia, Iran and some Chinese channels.  Given the likelihood of and Iran op, it's safe to say this will get drug up and amplified after as proof.

Rubio already admitted Israel was going to attack anyway,  so we had to join in because we were going to be put at risk.

Contemplate that.

Israel puts us at risk, so we have to join in.

Contemplate that.

What would be the value in contemplating that?  I don't know what the truth is there and it is irrelevant.  People spend way too much effort fighting over narratives that are almost certainly contrived to one degree or another.  What matters to me is what is fact and how it affects me.  All the hand wringing gets us is divisive arguments of irrelevant nuances as each side grinds against the other with pre programed arguments about how the other side of the coin all fit in a convenient basket of bad and their side of the coin needs to be defended.  It's 90% wasted space and time that takes away from legitimate discussion about what the facts are and how they affect everyone involved.

Rabbidrabbit..I think Israel launched drones at the countries Iran was blamed for within hours of the start of this disaster...

It wasn't anyone's thoughts or suggestions...I came to that conclusion all by myself way b4 anyone else "psyop" such an idea..

And I doubt anyone can nor will prove me wrong...

Have we taken the blame for killing the school girls yet...or are we just going to deny any evidence until the noise about that slaughter stops/ changes...

Last I heard it was pretty conclusive.  Old GPS targeting data.

I don't blame the military.  I have the feeling the was an ill-considered, strategically un-analyzed, shoot-from-the-hip decision.  I'm sure they did the best they could with the time they had.

As we were being marched into combat at bayonet point by Israel. 

The tail wagged the dog.

You are claiming Israel launched Iranian drones at other countries and they blamed Iran?  The burden of having a compelling argument for extraordinary claims lies with you and requires extraordinary proof to be credible.  I'm a huge fan of facts over narratives so I'm looking forward to you backing that claim up.  I will absolutely believe you if that claim has merit.

For the record, I suspect the basis for this claim belongs with Iran and their psyop channels "Accusations of "False Flag" or Sabotage Strikes: On March 15, 2026, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi claimed that Israel and the U.S. have been launching drones from various locations to strike Arab Gulf states (such as Saudi Arabia and the UAE).

The Intent: Iran alleges these strikes are designed to be "blamed on Iran" to sabotage its relations with neighboring Arab countries.

Specific Drone Mention: Iranian officials specifically accused the U.S. of developing a drone named "LUCAS" (designed to mimic the Iranian Shahed-136) to carry out these operations in Arab countries. "

Is there any actual evidence that this claim is actually true and not a psyop?
